How to set up your organisation on the Pillar platform

Who is Sensiba?

Because SOC 2 reports need to be signed off by a CPA (which is effectively a US accountancy), Tempo works with Sensiba who sign off on our reports. Tempo will still deliver the audit fully with our auditors and manage the relationship with you, as the client. Sensiba will then review and sign-off, and ultimately issue (on a co-branded report) the report.

What is Pillar?

Pillar is the platform that Sensiba and Tempo use to deliver the audit. You'll need to provide evidence through the Pillar platform for Tempo to review the evidence and finalise our audit. This will allow Sensiba to sign-off their report

How to use Pillar?

Your auditor will invite you to the Pillar platform and you will receive an automated email prompting you to set up your account. Use the link in the email address to initiate the setup. 

Once you click the link, you will be prompted to initiate a series of setup steps. This will include inputting your name and email address, verifying your email via a one-time code, setting up your password, and setting up multi-factor authentication. 

Once the initial setup is complete, you will be redirected directly to Pillar’s home screen. This is where your audit board will appear once your auditor has created it for you.

You can now use the ‘My Team’ dashboard to set up the rest of their team members. Navigate to the ‘My Team’ screen and click ‘Invite New Users’. Each new user will be required to follow the same setup process as outlined in this section. 

As using a new platform might be a bit daunting, we have provided a link for you to watch a quick video outlining how to navigate the audit board during the audit process.

What else do I need to know before the audit?

We have also put together some Pre-Audit FAQs for your SOC 2 audit that you can check out here.

We hope this short guide helps you when setting-up your organisation on Pillar, but if you have any more questions - just shout!
